Thousand Lakes Lodge

Winding its way through the gorgeous surroundings of the Meander Conservation Area, this full-day walk will take you away from the region’s more popular areas, deep into the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and the Great Western Tiers. The walk rewards you with a spectacular view of the 130m high falls and is a fantastic spot to enjoy a picnic lunch. The reward is worth the effort to get there. There is a hybrid toilet and information board located at the car park. Meander Falls Track is grade 3 and will take you 5-6 hours to complete. Photo: copyright 2020 Jade Austen All rights reserved.

The Pine Lake track consists of a level boardwalk that winds through the alpine landscape of the Central Plateau. Surrounded by ancient pencil pines and unique alpine flora such as cushion plants and Scoparia, the walk is an interesting one suitable for all ages. The boardwalk enables those unable to walk long distances or people in a wheelchair to easily experience this special part of the Tasmanian Highlands.

Warners Track is a heritage track that ascends from Jackeys Marsh to the Central Plateau via Burnies Creek. The Track passes through a series of different forest types starting at the bottom with wet eucalypt and dogwood forest, giving way about halfway up to rainforest species of myrtle, sassafras, and waratah, which flowers in spring/summer. The creek has carved a fairly deep gorge in places and towards the top forms a delightful series of pools, cascades and small waterfalls. The track itself was constructed by hand and in many places runs on dry stone walls with rock culverts. This steep walk is suited to people with a good level of fitness and will take four hours return. Photo: copyright 2020 Jade Austen All rights reserved.
